A Saudia flight video showing trash-strewn aisles went viral—and quickly turned into a wave of “Always Indians” comments. But the mess says more about airline design, service choices, and load factors than it ever did about culture.
On Friday, June 20, 2025, two passengers died onboard a Saudia flight to Surabaya, Indonesia. One passenger was 67 and the other 85. They both passed at almost the same exact moment, about an hour prior to landing.
As the flight prepared for departure, EUclaim had bailiffs seize the aircraft’s fuel supplies. Navigation maps were also confiscated. The plane was grounded for approximately 90 minutes, before the airline settled the outstanding debt.
